Great for a 100% whole grain recipe. I halved it and did it in my bread machine on the wheat cycle at 1.5 lb loaf. Instead of all the extra stuff I just did flax. It's so fluffy, like store bought, but healthy!

I kept trying this recipe based on the great reviews and still had a hard time getting it right, UNTIL I used the wet ingredients first and then slowly added my flour until my dough was the consistency I wanted. This worked like a charm every time. If I added the dry ingredients first and then added the wet, I would get a different result each time. Doing the wet ingredients first was a no-fail way to make sure my dough was exactly how I wanted it. Now I have happy bread :) ** I need to note here that I use a Kitchenaid mixer for my kneading with the dough hook.

Great whole grain bread! I had to add more water to get the right consistency, but it was still fantastic! Makes unbelievable toast!

should have read the reviews first, but the water/flour ratio is off. I am somewhat new at bread and kept thinking that I was not doing something right, but it was the ratios.

This was pretty good - very dry though and very hard to kneed. Not sure I would make it again.

This was my first time attempting bread and it came out great! I didn't have the flax seeds (added a bit extra flax seed meal) or the coconut oil (substituted toasted sesame oil) and needed to add a bit more water to get the dough to form. Tried to use my kitchenaid mixer but ended up just making it smoke -- so did all kneading by hand. I didn't knead for full times because I got tired, but it still came out great. The bread was a big hit and now I'm going to use it for french toast.

One detail: If you've had breast cancer that was estrogen-receptor positive, you should avoid flax seed and flax meal. Either leave them out, or add more of the other seeds.

The bread was tasty and good for sandwiches but the flour / water content was off. I used more water and approximately 5 1/2 c flour.

The bread turned out beautiful. I did have to use 2 cups of water instead of 1/34. Also when you cover it, don't put saran wrap on it, it will stick. It was so good. I will make it again.
